I've missed you! We have had a fairly uneventful last two weeks due to weather and holiday recovery. Looking forward to seeing you all this week and having our new year rolling again.
I would like to thank Joe Losquadro for all the years he has served as our Bulletin Editor. You have done a great job, Joe, and the Club and Board really appreciate all of your hard work! Thanks for taking time to train me, and for being willing to be my tech support in the future. Hopefully, I won't mess things up too much!
A great cheer and round of welcome for our newest members, Tommy Parham and Jennifer Jones. Both of their membership applications were approved by the club and the board this past week. We look forward to seeing them at meetings and getting to know them even better! Tommy and Jenny join Clare Bingham, Tim Rich, Colleen Maynard, Ginger Shubert, and John Jager as new members this year. Please take an extra moment to welcome them all and get to know them a bit better. Remember you are always welcome to bring a guest to meetings, and if you need any advice about membership applications, let Carrie know at carriejonesbooks@gmail.com
Thanks for including us in your recent newsletter, Rotarian Malaria Partners! Every year Seattle Rotarian and RMP Board Member Charley Dickey visits his family at their summer place on coastal Maine. Next to feasting on fresh local lobster and waking up to an early morning cycle around Acadia National Park, he cherishes his connection with his most favorite other Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Bar Harbor. Last summer, he leaped at the opportunity to share with its members details about RMP’s successful advocacy strategy and its lead Ugandan project. He discussed his recent visits to the District 9211 DCA’s in Entebbe (UG) and Arusha (TZ). At Charley’s invitation, RC-Bar Harbor elected to join the growing list of Clubs investing in RMP’s effort to embrace successful anti-malaria projects and in setting the table for tackling Rotary’s next major global health challenge post Polio eradication. Rotarian Malaria Partners welcomes RC-Bar Harbor as a project partner in helping specifically to underwrite Phase II of Rotary International’s Katakwi (UG) eradication effort!
I'm looking for somebody to take over as Club Historian. Not a really hard job. But an opportunity to learn more about the club's history, save and organize documents and photos and to keep the data on the Club website/database current. Let me know if you're interested, by calling 664-0964 or emailing joelos@roadrunner.com.
